Netflix Search and Viewer

[Snooze]

Well... a couple things I noticed and I dont know if you have control over...

1. Episodes: I was watching a multiple episode of "The color of war". It seemed when I picked up on it the next night, that it started on something I alrady watched.

2. Episodes again; Would there be a way to select a certain episode of a multiple episode (ie, 30 rock, season 3 episode 8)?

3. And I like it the way it is working now, but you say after you view a instant queue that it deletes automatically after it is viewed, well mine doesn't, and I would prefer to have a preference (checkbox? in options) to do so. I would rather delete them myself.

4. I do use this interfaced as a custom app in gbpvr, although you do not need to, but i would like to choose a different background than a black one. Is it app dependent or could we have a choice? andif I could tweak the font size a bit larger...



My two pennies.

Oh, and I did a lot of hunting, there are no keyboard entries to do next/previous episodes. It would have to be a mouse position thing.

And one more thing (sorry) After watching one movie in 16:9, and starting another, if I do not dash to my keyboard and toggle the OSD back to full screen, it kicks me out of the movie.

dhgb256, also if the "A"'s and "The"'s could be ignored in the titles... that would be cool.

I forgot "At" and "Then" too

That's 10 pennies now!

Can you give me two movie examples where you have had this hapen? Also, are you using the 1152x648 resolution? And does it still do this since I fixed the full screen for your resolution? One more, did you watch the movie to completion, or alt-F4 out of the first one?

I consider "At" and "Then" to be integral to the movie name. Typically only articles (A, An, The) are moved to the end of the movie names.

I have found this too, what Netflix does, if you don't watch the episode all the way to the end, to the point where it brings up the message telling you the episode is over, then it takes you to the first episode where you didn't completely finish the episode. This is annoying, see below for my recommended solution.

2. Episodes again; Would there be a way to select a certain episode of a multiple episode (ie, 30 rock, season 3 episode 8)?

I think this is the solution to problem #1. I want to add a field where my app will recognize if the show you selected has multiple episodes and if so it will allow you to select which episode to watch. So you would select a movie and if it has multiple parts it will repopulate the main screen with the episode names allowing you to choose the specific episode. What do you think?

This would also solve the "next episode/previous episode" button issue in the short term.

3. And I like it the way it is working now, but you say after you view a instant queue that it deletes automatically after it is viewed, well mine doesn't, and I would prefer to have a preference (checkbox? in options) to do so. I would rather delete them myself.

I don't know enough to monitor when a show has been watched to completion, so I don't want to autodelete a show that you haven't finished. But I could add a dialogue asking if you want to delete the show when you exit the movie watcher. Thoughts?

I took my color cue from Hulu Desktop, I liked the all black look. The color might be a bit tough to change since I have it integrated into all the forms and fields and such, but I will look at it and see if I can allow customization. The font I think is an easy fix. I will add a default font to the options menu.

Color options and font size are included in the newest release (1.0.3570.28560). I'm working on the rest.

Everything is working better now for the 1152x648 resolution. Don't need to run to my keyboard to toggle back to fullscreen. Everything is working as it should. Thank you so much.

I cannot get it to make the colors change using ctrl-O. I only copied in the two exe's and the ini file. Did I need to copy anything else in? EDIT: It works now. Dont know why it didn't before. EDIT: Now I know, it will make a color change only if you make a font size change, the apply button stays "Greyed out" until I fiddle with the font too.

Can you take fast forward and rewind off your todo list now that we both know ctrl or shift -and- left or right arrow key does this?

This all sound great! I will be looking forward to this if you can get it sorted.
